Niagara Falls wants its voice heard as Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. seeks a service provider to run the day-to-day operations of the city’s two casinos.

“We’re very supportive of separately managed properties, so that we can utilize the benefits of competition,” said Coun. Victor Pietrangelo.

“We’d like to see both properties, not just one, re-branded and re-developed.”

He said while the province is trying to find out what works best for its gaming modernization plan, the city needs to “let them know what works best for us.

“First and foremost is the long-term security of the employees at both of our casinos. Secondly, we have the businesses that rely on the casinos, and also the people that are employed by those businesses,” said Pietrangelo.
